Problems with novashell

Hi, I'm fairly new to novashell, but I've been able to follow the tutorials, however, I found several problems with it. For example, I couldnt use the bracket keys [ ], since my keyboard is non-us, and I would like to know how would I have to use them? My keyboard is in spanish, and has the spanish ES layout. Another problem I had was when I tried to specify a 40x40 grid, the dialog box only allowed me to put single digit numbers, from 0 to 9.

Keyboard Layout Workaround

Hi y'all. I've had similar keyboard layout problems because I use a Japanese keyboard without a tilde key. (can't access the console)

I solved this in Windows XP by going into Regional settings in control panel, then adding an English-only input method/layout under language settings. You can switch between languages with Alt+Shift or other key combination. This could be irritating if other keys are in different locations as well, but it should at least give you access to all the English keys when you need them.

Sorry for the Bump... But as you can see, a keyboard customization (even if manually editing XML) would be good, because...

I too have several issues, mostly the Brazillian keyboard looks "almost" like the US, but to support some unique characters (Ç, é, á, ó, ê, ô...) some keys are swapped around, including the tilde is swapped for the " key. So when I press " for whatever reason, the console open or closes... (and I have a useless ~ key while using novashell...)
